Chapter 1263 - 1203: Alliance (2)
"Do you have a way to find out?" Adrian Desmond asked.
"It’s our family’s own information channel, it’s confidential, I can’t tell you, but I do have a way." Ward Penney replied.
Adrian Desmond said, "I can’t influence Kiya’s affairs."
Ward Penney smiled, "You can’t influence it, but can your sister not influence it?
Since Kiya can give up being Sultan for your sister, he can naturally become Sultan for your sister!
Adrian, why not ask your sister to talk to him."
"I won’t use my sister!" In that case, Adrian would feel despicable and shameless.
Ward Penney slowly said, "You and Night Owl are irreconcilable, Night Owl has taken your wife, who do you think would be next? You have four children... Adrian, since Night Owl had the skill to kidnap Sienna Johnson right under your nose, what about your four children?"
"..."
"The best defense is offense, Adrian, you’re the one who told me that."
Adrian’s gaze swept over his friends, all of whom looked at him with determined eyes, except for Dan Taylor, who seemed a bit hesitant.
"Have you thought about the consequences? If you fail, your entire family will be forced to leave Abyanabad... more seriously, you might be killed by Night Owl!"
Adrian laid out the seriousness of the situation, and indeed, it was that serious. They were businessmen, and although they had their power, Night Owl now controlled all of Abyanabad. Going against Night Owl meant going against all of Abyanabad.
"For the sake of profit, it’s worth it!" Ward Penney smiled.
Trevor Harrington and Mark shared the same sentiment, their families would back them as well.
Dan Taylor, who had remained silent, raised his hand and said, "Can’t I opt out?"
Adrian directly said, "No!"
"Sixth Master, you really think highly of me, do you really have the ability to deal with Night Owl... I have over a dozen wives to support."
Adrian said, "You don’t have to do much, you just need to report Moore’s illness in your newspaper."
"... Haha, I feel like I’m going to meet a terrible end!"
Ward Penney said, "Dan Taylor, isn’t it time you repaid the money you borrowed from me last time?"
Others also expressed that Dan Taylor should pay back his debts, leaving Dan Taylor dumbfounded.
Dan Taylor wasn’t poor, but he supported many wives who were particularly extravagant.
Realizing his financial situation, Dan Taylor was forced to agree.
The group quickly reached a consensus and devised a strategy.
The first step was to spread the news of Moore’s illness. This task was assigned to Dan Taylor.
...
Abyanabad Imperial Palace,
Night Owl was having breakfast with Josie.
Joey looked exactly like Sienna Johnson; her actions, demeanor, and style of dress were all identical to Sienna’s.
The mysterious woman hidden in Night Owl’s chamber wasn’t Sienna Johnson, but Joey; the real Sienna had been hidden away by Night Owl, and only a few trusted aides knew.
Silicon entered carrying a newspaper, "Master, there’s bad news. A media outlet has reported Moore’s illness."
Night Owl continued eating breakfast, seemingly indifferent as he asked, "Which newspaper?"
"The Weekly Observer."
It was Dan Taylor’s newspaper. At first, Dan Taylor nervously published the news about Moore’s illness. He wasn’t a bad person, just full of flaws with a timid nature, completely forced by his troublesome friends to publish it.
However, when he saw the newspaper’s sales, Dan Taylor was delighted and immediately called Adrian Desmond, asking if he had any other royal secrets.
Night Owl took the newspaper, glanced through it, and the front-page feature not only reported Moore’s illness but also detailed Gulit and the young Sultan being under his control.
The newspaper also mentioned that Kiya’s death and the Queen Mother’s injury were caused by him.
Night Owl placed the newspaper on the table, smiled, and said, "It’s all true though."
"Master, what should we do now? The newspaper has also exposed your identity, I’m worried Interpol might come looking for trouble."
Night Owl was completely unafraid, "Though Abyanabad is a small country, it is still a country. The Imperial Palace in Abyanabad isn’t a place they can just enter and search at will.
We’re very safe, have no worry."
Upon hearing Night Owl’s confident tone, Silicon said nothing further.
Josie looked at Night Owl and asked, "Is it really okay?"
"Sienna, take this opportunity to return to Adrian’s side."
Night Owl looked at the carefully trained replacement, finding himself sometimes confused.
She’s very similar, not just in appearance but also in aura.
If that woman Sienna Johnson, with her strong jealousy, found out Adrian was living with and sleeping with a replacement, would she choose to give up as she did before?
If Adrian discovered the person beside him was a replacement, how would he react?
Josie smiled, "My life was given by you, I naturally listen to everything you say."
Her eyes sparkled with cunning, easily reminiscent of Sienna Johnson, although Sienna’s gaze was more subtle and reserved.
Night Owl suddenly slapped her across the face, admonishing, "You’ve grown too complacent."
Josie immediately restrained herself, respectfully saying, "Yes, Master, I won’t dare to again."
Night Owl looked at Josie, his eyes filled with intensity. He stood up, grabbed her wrist, and rudely pushed her into the room.
...
Penney Family,
Ward Penney was watching a video of Night Owl with the "Sienna Johnson," his frown intense enough to crush a fly.
If Adrian were to see this kind of video, wouldn’t it just be stabbing him in the heart?
After all, she was Adrian’s woman, Ward Penney watched only the beginning, then quickly turned off the video.
Staring at the black screen, lost in thought about "Sienna Johnson" being with Night Owl, he pondered how to break the news to Adrian.
Adrian, unlike them, was always reserved with women in his youth; they even joked about his sexual orientation until they heard he had saved a woman from the sea and treasured her...
"Boss, Sixth Master is here."
Ward Penney responded, "Why is Adrian here?"
"Boss, didn’t you invite Sixth Master?"
Ward Penney frowned a bit, "Oh, I forgot."
"..."
"Lead Adrian to the study to wait for me... Oh, by the way, about Sienna Johnson, the few of you should keep quiet." Ward Penney instructed.
"Yes, Boss."
Ward Penney hesitated for a long time and ultimately decided to destroy the video, realizing that some things, once happened and unchangeable, were best left unknown.
